The Tools & Resources section documents the tools and supporting resources used within the workflows described across the site.
Its purpose is to clarify why specific tools exist, where they are used, and how they fit into the larger system.
Purpose of the Tools & Resources Section
This section provides authoritative references for tools, templates, and supporting resources that are explicitly required or supported by documented workflows.
- Clarify tool and resource purpose
- Document where tools are used within workflows
- Prevent redundant or ad‑hoc tooling decisions
- Support consistent, repeatable execution
Scope Boundary
This section covers:
- Plugins and utilities used in documented workflows
- Tool purpose and placement within the system
- Supporting resources and documentation standards
- Services referenced by operational runbooks
This section does not cover:
- Tool comparisons or “best of” lists
- Affiliate recommendations
- General plugin or software tutorials
How to Use This Section
Tools & Resources pages are not meant to be read in sequence. They are referenced contextually from checklists and runbooks elsewhere in the system.
If a tool or resource appears here, it is because it is explicitly required or supported by one or more documented workflows.
Documentation Templates & Standards
The following documentation templates define standardized patterns used across the system. These templates are referenced by workflows but are not execution steps themselves.
- Plugin Configuration Checklist Template — Standard template used to document baseline plugin configurations, including licensing, imports, validation, and lock rules.

Governance
Inclusion in this section does not imply endorsement beyond documented usage. Tools and templates are added, removed, or replaced only through deliberate changes to the workflows that depend on them.
When a tool or template is no longer used, it is documented and decommissioned through the Operations runbooks.
